New Moon of Leo 2018 - Accessing our Creator Nature (con traducción en español)

Here we are, once again, at the fiery, demonstrative, and open hearted month of Leo. As I sit here at my desk writing this, I can't help but consider the ways in which those with strong Leo qualities in their charts have lead me to where I am today. Truthfully, were it not for my close friend Hana, who passed away some years ago, I would not be here writing this article. She was a tremendously loving, warm, and kind woman, who inspired me and believed in me. We would stud

New Moon of Capricorn 2017 - Climbing the Mountain Together

As the shining light of Sagittarius comes to close, we are now ready to dim the lights and enter the chilly winter month of Capricorn. This sign is always marked by the Winter Solstice that initiates the winter season in the northern hemisphere. Days are at their shortest. Nights are at their longest, and winter weather is well upon us. Capricorn is the sign of determination, ambition, and goals. These are people who are constantly working towards climbing the mountain o

New Moon of Sagittarius 2017 - Sharpening our Spiritual Senses

I don't usually like to play favorites, but one thing I do really, really like in astrology is the sign of Sagittarius. That's probably because it's my rising as well as the home sign of several other planets in my chart. I truly enjoy the lightness and buoyancy of this vibrant slice of the zodiac. People born under this sign are a lot of fun as well! They have a sunny, happy-go-lucky attitude that makes them hard not to love. Sagittarians in general are exploratory and p

Sun, Moon, and Ascendant - Three Keys to Unlocking Your Personality

Whenever an astrologer looks at a natal chart for the first time, there are three main points we go to first: the Sun sign, the Moon sign, and the Ascendant, or Rising sign. These three crucial placements can tell us a tremendous amount of information about our vitality, emotional world, and approach to life. I like to compare these three placements to a house. The ascendant is like the front door. The sun is like the living room, and the moon is like the bedroom. Each o

New Moon of Scorpio 2017 - Achieving Internal Revolution

This sign gets a really bad rap. My boyfriend is a Scorpio, and he always says how he can never find anything good written about his sign. And I have to admit; he's right. Scorpios do have a very dark side. They can be vengeful, overbearing, obsessive, possessive, fearful, and dangerous when wronged. When most people think of Scorpio they think of all these negative attributes, but there's actually a fair reason for that. Scorpio is a sign of extremes. There is no midd

What makes a professional astrological consultation different from a horoscope column?

Have you ever sat down in a doctors office and picked up a fashion magazine? As you flip through, you come across the horoscope column. Like most people, you can't help but go straight to your sign and read what it says about your future. Will you find love? Money? Travel? Even if the magazine is two years old, your curiosity will tend to convince you to read it over anyway. We can't help but be drawn to knowing what the stars say about us! As a professional astrologer fo

Sign Compatibility - What's it all about anyway?

One of the first questions I always get asked as an astrologer is, "what sign am I most compatible with?" And while this is a really great question, it is a little bit more complex than we might think at first. Like I said in my article on horoscopes vs professional consultations (click here to read), we are far more than just our "sign." When you take all of the other planets into account, there are so many other variables to consider. For example, when looking at the ch

New Moon of Cancer 2017 - The Power in Nurturing Others

Wow, that last month went by fast! I just got back from vacation, and let me tell you, Venus in Taurus did not disappoint. I had an amazing vacation with my family. I enjoyed time by the pool, drinking a cold beer, and enjoying their company. Normally I have been taking my vacations during the winter to see them during Christmas, but this year I decided to take a summer vacation, and it was a completely different experience. Without all the holiday hustle and bustle, I go

New Moon of Gemini 2017 - ...Another Door Opens

You know that old, annoying saying? "When one door closes, another one opens." I'm going to be honest with you. I'm the worst at throwing around overused turns of phrase. There's just something so simple and easy about using those little sayings to get my point across. Everybody knows what they mean and how to use them. I don't have to go into deep detail to explain what I'm trying to say. They're light, simple, and, often times, kind of fun. Luckily for me, we just en

New Moon of Taurus 2017 - Learning Spiritual Alchemy

Here we are at the New Moon of Taurus - THANK GOD. After all the energy that was injected into the cosmos during the month of Aries, this month is a welcome reprieve. The month of Taurus provides us with a much needed rest stop, a moment to step back and breathe. It takes all the fire and desire we worked up in Aries and gives us the ability to bring it into manifestation. For example, if you had the idea to travel last month, this month gives you the tools to plan it, an
